General talk about movies, TV, radio, and other entertainment discussion.
Discussing favorite movies is a great topic but keep in mind some folks haven't seen the movie yet we may be discussing so don't give the endings away!

On a given American radio talk show a couple of callers called in to say that no way did they want any more of their tax $$$ going to help the people still stranded and rendered homeless by Hurricane Katrina! That they deserved what they got because of who the voted into power in that state....blah, blah, blah, and get me a bucket to throw up in! What kind of an attitude do these callers have anyway? A year has passed and it is estimated that 500,000 individuals remain homeless as a result of the disaster a year ago. And some areas there are a real mess! I would like to know if something is being misunderstood or if these callers are expressing racism in a passive way. But I can't get these callers out of my mind and they disgust me infinitely. I would appreciate positive feedback as I realise that I am a Canadian. Thanks in advance!
Gentlegiant101: I did not hear or read any thing like this. But, I have heard similar comments before. Those types of people anger me. You help people in need! Regardless of who is in power!
The people there knew the danger and risk. They knew what would happen when a major hurricane hit. In california, the people know the risks from earthquakes. In the midwest, the people know the risks form tornadoes...
These people chose to live there...
Does that mean, "They deserve it and we shouldn't help them"? Absolutely not! A society can be graded on how well it helps it citizens in times of need. WE HELP THOSE IN NEED! PERIOD!
Those that say we shouldn't (for what ever reason) are TWO FACED! They will be begging for help if they were struck by some natural disaster!
